BARNAS, John Stephen

John S. Barnas, 59, of Old Lyme and Westerly, RI, died unexpectedly on Sunday, (February 3, 2013) in Groton.

In his spare time, he enjoyed gardening, good food, and anything that brought him closer to the shore. John will be remembered for his friendly personality, his willingness to help a friend, and his ability to accept everyone for who they are. Besides his mother, he leaves three daughters, Michele Paige and her husband Christopher of Windsor Locks, Courtney Barnas and Ashley Barnas of Westerly, RI; a son Jeffrey Barnas of Westerly, RI; a sister, Alaine Harris of Old Lyme; a brother, Thomas Barnas and his wife Donna of Vernon; his granddaughter, Marisa Paige; and many nieces and nephews.
